Q1.) Do projections move closer to the positive end of the axis over time?

Note. Data are aggregated at the assessment level and coefficients are unstandardized.First person sing. = means of I, me, myself, my, and mine projections for each participant.

First-person sing. valence projections

first_person_sing_valence_combined individual variation

first_person_sing_valence_combined spline fit

First-person sing. able projections

Able

Q2.) Do our projection measures predict changes in internalizing symptoms over time?

Results are condensed to be for the first-person singular valence and ability projections only (combined).

Q3.) Are these predictions robust to other linguisitic features?

Results are condensed to be for the first-person singular valence and ability projections only (combined).

Valence Projections

• Non-disaggregated (Valence)
• Disaggregated (valence)

Ability Projections

• Non-disaggregated (Ability)
• Disaggregated (ability)

Q4) Is this occurring for all words, or is “I” unique in some way?
